It is easy to limit the distribution of the Systems2win templates that you
own:
- Keep a backup copy of the original Systems2win deliverables - exactly as
they were originally delivered
- In your S2winPortal (on your shared server) - delete any Systems2win templates that you don't
want your users to have.
- The next time that each user syncs their
templates, they will have only those templates that you did not delete
Tip: If you purchased before March 19, 2008, your users might
need to download & install the latest free
update for the Systems2win Add-in - to get the version that deletes
unwanted Systems2win templates upon synchronization.
FAQ's
Can we distribute some templates to some users, and
other templates to other users?
No. The same templates are synced with every user.
However... you could manually distribute to selected users a few
templates that you remove from your master S2winPortal.
(Just email those templates to the users that need them. Each
user stores those templates somewhere on their own c: drive)
How can we personalize our portal page - so that it doesn't still describe
the missing template (with a broken link)?
It won't hurt anything to just leave your Portal html pages alone without
doing anything.
When your users search for templates using your portal, they
will just see what they're missing - with
broken links to the missing templates.
And they won't even see what they're missing when they use any
of the other alternative ways to find & open
Systems2win templates.
Or you can easily edit your portal
to remove any reference to the deleted templates.
The portal pages are intentionally written using generic HTML
- to make it easy for your IT Dept to personalize using any HTML editing software
(such as Dream Weaver).
What if we change our mind - and later decide to distribute some of the
templates that we removed?
Just double-click your original S2winPortal.exe file - and install it to
any temporary location.
Then copy the desired templates back into your master portal.
And if you had edited
your portal to remove any reference to the deleted templates - simply
use your favorite HTML editor (perhaps Dream Weaver) to copy the HTML code
back to the appropriate portal pages.
